Since you asked for a how-to when Beth first showed you Jennifer Lopez's soft updo a little while back, I had to make it happen. The French twist is a classic that every girl should know. Try J.Lo's updated version and I promise you'll get compliments left and right the first time you wear it!

Now, here's how to copy the look:

First, create a deep side part, and then pull your hair back as if you were going to do a ponytail. Face your middle and index fingers down.

With the one hand holding the ends of your hair, twist your hair into a roll shape.

Now secure the “seam” with hairpins or bobby pins, making sure to use enough to lock in the shape.
